In an interview with the This Must Be the Gig podcast, Boeckner revealed that there will be two Handsome Furs shows in December in yet-to-be announced cities. "We're doing these two Handsome Furs shows because I really miss playing those songs," said Boeckner.

Though the shows will feature no new Handsome Furs material, they will feature new Operators songs.

There was no discussion as to whether the shows will feature Alexei Perry, the other member of Handsome Furs and Boeckner's ex-wife, or if the other members of Operators will be performing alongside Boeckner instead.

Boeckner has previously expressed a desire to perform Handsome Furs songs with Operators, even going as far as to take requests on Twitter.

Speaking of Operators, Boeckner revealed that the band are recording their second album.

"The record is written and it's 75 percent recorded," said Boeckner, estimating that the record is about "halfway done," with only overdubs, vocals and mixing left to be finished. He estimated a release date of April 2019.
